NOTES FOR THE TOURIST. 



ALDBOROUGH, the Iseur of the Britons and the Isurium of the 

 Romans, is 7 miles from Ripon. A very interesting Museum of 

 Roman remains, found here, is collected at the Manor House. About 

 half a mile hence are the DEVIL'S ARROWS, near Boroughbridge. 

 KIRBY HILL CHURCH, with its Roman, Saxon, and Norman Remains, 

 should be visited on the return to Ripon, 



RIEVAUX ABBEY, DUNCOMBE PARK, and BYLAND ABBEY, may be 

 visited by taking the train from Ripon to Helmsley and thence by 

 conveyance. The drive from Thirsk, over Hambleton Hills, is very 

 fine, and the best route. 



JERVAUX ABBEY, MIDDLEHAM CASTLE, &c., may be reached either 

 by a direct drive from Ripon, through Tanfield, or by rail, via 

 Melmerby Junction, N.E.R.
